These hypotheses often differ in their predictions for timing of births (for example, predicting that births should coincide with a particular season or should coincide with life history events of some other species, or predicting that reproduction should or should not be synchronous).
Rates of non-convergence in bivariate probit models can be high when this occurs [ 27], and the maximum likelihood estimate can be highly implausible in these cases (for example, predicting that everyone who declines to test is HIV positive or HIV negative).f This problem is clearly illustrated in our analysis of the Ghanaian data where HIV prevalence is low.
European Commission officials monitoring the Irish bailout, for example, predict that it job creation could be a decade away.

In addition, park designs have been shaped by a number of theories: Attention Restoration Theory (ART), for example, predicts that natural scenes promote fixations, and these allow the brain to recover from extended periods of concentration.
A month after the disaster, the head of the United Nations Science Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation, for example, predicted that there would be no serious public health consequences resulting from the radiation.
Valleyforge, for example, predicted that Mr. Romney would win 360 electoral votes, one more vote than Mr. Obama would earn if he won all the states he did in 2008.
A 2005 article in the journal Nature Reviews Drugs Discovery, for example, predicted that revenue for female sexual dysfunction treatments in the United States could exceed $4 billion annually "with only 15 percent of patients captured on therapy".
A study released in July by the conservative Manhattan Institute, for example, predicted that even a downturn that increased unemployment to 1993 levels -- 6.9percentt in the nation and 10.4percentt in the city -- would increase the welfare participation rate of single mothers by no more than 5percentt.
